It's a good deal if we talk about just 50xx series but to compare apples to apples rtx 4090 powered (175w) were selling for 2200+ before the launch of 50xx series laptops! But again newer gen better cores and other things! If you want raw power try to get a 4090 or 4080 they scale really well with power and performance but if you're looking for a 50xx series this is a great piece if hardware! Can't go wrong with either
Solid deal for a premium gaming laptop with premium build (stiff frame, tank build) and premium cooling with workstation features (Great screen quality, Thunderbolt 4, 140w USB charging), but a dog on battery life compared to ultraporables. If you need windows gaming its a good laptop. I have the previous generation Legion Pro 7 which I prefer to my Legion Pro 5. I got my Legion 7 with RTX 4080 for $1800 on sale, but it was routinely on sale for $2000. RTX 5070Ti mobile seems comparable to the RTX4080 (within +/-10%). Will stick to my last gen Legion Pro 7 with 4080. OLED in this generation is interesting vs IPS on the previous generation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLVi0d1lc3Q for a comparison of high wattage laptop 5070ti vs 4080.

I got my 13th gen i9 4080 for like 2000, I think part of what made them cheaper at that time, was the debacle of the desktop processors of that gen messing up

I had the 4080 13th gen i9 version for a while, great laptop. While looking for that gen used (4090 offers a performance bump and more vram, but runs hot without a cooling pad) is worth a shot, the 240hz OLED is a much better screen. My laptop daily and the one that I kept is a 3070ti Razer with a 240hz QHD without G-Sync, I chose to use it over the 4080 and its solid IPS screen because the OLED is so much better. If shopping, I would pick this one just for the better screen.
Do keep in mind the previous gen Lenovos were nice and stealth in terms of looks, this one is quite a bit flashier looking.

I have the 11th generation intel with a 3070 and it still functions like the day I bought it?
